Why This Veterans Lunch & Learn Might Be the Most Important Meal You Attend This Year
You served without expecting thanks. Now, it’s our turn to serve you with resources, recognition and real answers.
On Tuesday, September 30, Benedictine Living Community–Winona is hosting a Veterans Lunch & Learn designed specifically for veterans aged 55+ and their family members. It’s not just lunch—it’s an opportunity to discover what you might still be entitled to.
For many, this event could unlock benefits you didn’t even know were available.
What You’ll Walk Away With (Besides a Full Stomach)
This isn’t your average community lunch. We’re bringing in Winona County Veterans Services and Patriot Angels to lead informative presentations and one-on-one conversations. Whether you’re a veteran, a spouse or a caregiver, this is your chance to ask the questions that matter:
- Am I eligible for more VA or local benefits than I realized?
- What programs are available to help with care or housing?
- How can my spouse or family members access support?
This is about more than benefits—this is about belonging.
